How smooth is the multiplayer over IP?

[Alistic]

Since this game is built for multiplayer from the ground up, I assume alot of the beta testers are mostly playing multiplayer games?

I hope this isn't one of those games where they tested mainly over a LAN. Then on release day it's no multiplayer because of netcode issues.

1 more thing, has anyone finished a complete game with no issues over the internet? Lots of the articles I read just mention LAN play.

In the one hour game, you were eliminated, right?

Not all games allow for multiplayer using dialup. Some require broadband. Just asking if this is the case. Has anyone played solely with a 56k modem? Is any lag encountered? How many players were in the game?

Assuming it will work is not the same as experiencing it first hand.

That multiplayer review was fantastic.

I dunno about that one, but he was sure headed for elimination when the 5 hour game ended.
